You guys should just shut up with this narrative already, who was going to unseat Buhari then? Atiku? Make we hear word jareh.
Lol! If you'd rather have Atiku than Buhari. Luckily for you, you just might get your wish at the next election, or worst still, get Jaguda Bullion Van.

I can assure you you won't be shutting up if/when you get either of those two.

Do I need to start explaining what value added tax mean? The worst thing that can happen to a person is to be paying for something and have no idea you're paying for that.
Is value added tax the only tax payable? Do some countries not pay 20% vat after their income has been subjected to up to 40% tax?

Yes, I think you better explain tax, in general, to me. Explaining might help you understand better.

You send your child to school to learn to read and write and learn maths and other things .....
No Ben, I'm far to responsible to "send your child to school to learn to read and write and learn maths and other things"!

Its my child, so I start teaching my child while my child is inside my womb to learn to read and write and learn maths and other things so that my child would be superior and not need to depend on the equity of the state.

In fact, I go much further by sending my child to superior fee paying schools, and not to the state school that would give my child equity!

A smart responsible parent would not leave their child's education and future to the vagaries of the state, because if one does, one's child is likely to end up as a kraken believing maga!

The majority of Nigerians do not pay tax, and whatever tax we do pay is not what we spend.

When our oil dries up and government starts getting its budget fron your pocket as is done in some countries, you'd understand then what paying tax means.

With the way, they want to gag us. Ban twitter, gag freedom of speech, threaten you when you plan a protest and kill you if you insist, loot with reckless abandon, lie with no honour and smite you at any given opportunity. Load up loans upon us. My dear, has any past leader or government office holder been jailed for 9 months on the basis of corruption in this country before.
How would u hold them accountable when the laws of the country don't hold them accountable as along as they are in the ruling party.

We are still day dreaming and waking up is far from us.
The evidences are glaring.
Yes. It might have been before you were born, but Buhari jailed corrupt politicians for 200 years!

And you hold them accountable, first, by electing leaders who would impose accountable laws - since such laws don't just unaccountably turn up from planet Mars - and then you responsibly impose those laws by electing leaders that obey the law.

That is the amazing power that democracy gives you. It makes you responsible for your leaders and your laws instead of expecting either to arrive from Mars.

And you failed to notice how many overnights you been given already, abi?

The regime had in 2019 gazetted the removal of VAT on LPG, also known as cooking gas, as a product to increase its domestic utilisation.

This is FALSE.

Most Nigerians have lost faith in the government and see life as suffering and smiling, especially the elderly ones.

People just go out there to struggle for themselves and never depend on the government. Nobody cares about the government.

That's why the guys are proudly taking to internet fraud and the ladies are massively going into packaged prostitution.
No one is asking you to have faith in a government, and you'd in fact be rather naive if you do have faith in a government!

Fact is, your lack of faith in a government would make you scrutinise more harshly how they spend your tax money. If they pay themselves large wages and astronomical pensions, you'd pay more attention at election time, I can very well assure you.

Whatever they hoped to gain by removing the vat will be lost and government will lose more . People will revert back to kerosene and firewood . Anything to reduce cost .
If the government is serious , they should give new investors in local gas some tax breaks or equipment importation duty waivers . Let the local production reach a reasonable point of sustaining a part of our LPG demand then the country can return the taxes .
Not charging local producers vat, is a tax break! Besides, wood and kerosene is not exactly as cheap as you think, nor as convenient, especially if you do not live in a forest.

You've been given a reasonable amount of time for local production to reach a reasonable point. That time is now up. Sorry.

Trust you to present on cue biased reporting that supports your "maths is racist" logic!

Anyone with a brain and an ounce of an ability to use it knows Amex that charges a very capitalistic fee to even be a card member can not possibly be against capitalism!

benalvino3:
SCOOP: American Express Corp. has launched a critical race theory training program that teaches employees capitalism is fundamentally racist and asks them to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves on a hierarchy of "privilege."

According to whistleblower documents, AmEx executives created an internal "Anti-Racism Initiative" that subjects employees to an extensive training program based on the core tenets of critical race theory, including "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "intersectionality."

You can't be supporting nonsense and still act like you are against it at the same time.
As I've said so many times, some things are far too complex for you to comprehend.

A state's school system must provide an equitable education for all it's citizens regardless of colour, race, ethnicity, creed, sex, etc. This law you pointed out is after all not for blacks and latinos only ! You must however not be a state to your own child for whom you ought to seek superiority.

If the state says they'd give your child a certificate even though your child can not read or write nor add 2 and 2 and get 4, you should be responsible and ensure your child can read and write and add 2 and 2 and get 4 instead of irresponsibly leaving the education of your child to the state.

Be a parent, ben. Don't let a state do your parenting for you because those giving you equity are giving their own children superiority, just as they are getting vaccinated while lying to you that vaccinations kill.
Politics › Re: A Very Poor Man Who Walked Pass A Car Lot by budaatum: 5:28pm On Aug 11, 2021
Reminds me of when I was in a car lot in West London so many moons ago rather undecisively looking at a car on sale for £10k when this family of husband, wife, two kids and mother-in-law walked past and mother-in-law said in Yoruba, "where will this one find money to buy that car"? To wit I responded in my impeccable Yoruba that the Lord that created me with a big mouth knows what to feed it with.

You should see the shame on the poor wife's face at the mother-in-law that I who was so simply dressed and hardly looked Nigerian could speak Yoruba so well.

It so happened that when I finally found the car I wanted we met again at the payment desk where they were filling a form for a finance agreement for the car they'd found that cost £4k.

I pulled out my check book and paid for mine I'd found that cost £12k while their finance was rejected. It was educating when I drove pass them as they walked out to get the bus.

A white democrat has put forth a law of free hand out that will make blacks and Latinos more incompetent.

When no job wants them they will say systematic crap but she is laying the foundation and budaatum and the other fello supports this.

Critical Race Theory is bs.
Hopefully, you now understand why you should seek superiority for your own child and would take my advice so your child is immune to bs.

budaatum:
You clearly do not understand what you are reading!

I am buda! I did not seek equity for my child in maths and all other subjects my children studied! I sought superiority in maths for my children instead by teaching them myself from when they were in the womb and by ensuring they practise and study maths and their other subjects more than any other person's children as soon as they were born because I know the importance of maths to my childrens education and their future!

You be there settling to be equal to others if you wish! Some are pushing for much better. But schools must at least be fair regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin, wealth, religion, etc etc!
And do note:

'The testing that we've been doing in the past doesn't tell us what we want to know,' Oregon State Sen. Lew Frederick, a Democrat told KATU.

'We have been relying on tests that have been, frankly, very flawed and relying too much on them so that we aren't really helping the students or the teachers or the community.'

But passing a test has not been a requirement to graduate in the state since 2009, when its essential skills standards were initially put in place.

JESHAL:
Na, if God knows life begins in the womb, how can you cause dishonour to him by legislating the slaughter of unborn infants as if they are intrinsically worthless

Jeremiah 1:5 KJV - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee in the womb...

Going against the absolute truth for your subjective interpretation of truth killed morality among liberals
I do not worship a book, jesh, a book is not my God.
But in that book is also written that I should love my neighbours and my enemies too, which to me means understanding those who do what I might not do myself.

That said, I can categorically state that the bastard some rapist inserted in a womb has nothing to do with God forming it in that womb, and after I abort your bastard you can very well call on God to hold me to account instead of you attempting to as if you are God's emissary because I sure wouldn't listen to you and let your bastard live.

Do note that when God sends me to hell for aborting a rapist's content in my womb, you wouldn't have to burn in hell with me.

Those so called Evilgelicals are something else. They love Trump not because they agree with him as a moral person. They love him because he loathes Blacks that they do. How do you call yourself a Christian and supports a man who cheated on his three wives. A man that when he was asked to recite a single verse in the Bible, he couldn't. A man that doesn't go to church and he openly said when he was asked if he ever ask for God's forgiveness, he said no. What kind of Christian is that. He cannot even hold up the Bible correctly at his Made for Show Church appearance across the street from the White House.
Easily, I'd say. Christ their God after all is written to have said some yell Lord Lord, and it's not as if they'd be the first hiding behind God's cloak to deceive for their own benefit, which is why one must endeavor to open one's eye so that one may see the wolves for what they are.

In US alone, this deadly virus has taken almost 700.000 thousand lives. What other points do anyone have to prove in other to save people's lives. Even their Chief Cultist Trump
almost died of coronavirus if not the special medical care that was given to him and guess what, he was the first person to take the vaccines and kept quiet about it. Why didn't he use his bully pulpit to inform all Americans then to take the shots to save their lives. I lost two colleagues of mine in the office and 5 other African American friends last year due to covid. Like i said Bhudaaman, i have no sympathy for any grown up that commits suicide and i hope their Proud Boys lover on Nairaland do not take the vaccines if it is available to them. If they die off, i sure wouldn't shed a tear for them. They deserve to die for their beliefs.
I'm not disagreeing, pride. One can hope that those who drink sniper receive their desired effect. I just wish it only affected them.

Guess why, they probably were vaccinated already but they are telling their death squads not to get the vaccines and in Florida, Gov DeSatan is even telling little kindergarten children and Grammar school children not to use face masks. Isn't this madness knowing that record numbers of children are being admitted into the hospitals with lung damages. This present day conservqtism is a death cult and like i said, the more they die, the better for America.
Trust me, I can not only believe it, I know it to be exactly so. And I believe the qnist here are intentionally preaching 'die' to those who they can convince to drink the kool aid of their kraken.

The Catholic Church was the successor to Protestantism, which then became the Evangelism most know today. Without the Catholic Church providing us with the Gospels we'd probably never have heard of Jesus Christ.

The Borgias were popes before the split into Protestantism, which was in direct protest hence the name. This series shows what they were like, and should be a must watch for those who naively think iniquity began with current day mogs.

That's another case Bhudaaman. One of the many reasons i said i do not feel any sympathy for these brainwashed idiots losing their lives daily following their death cult leaders just like Branch Davidians followed David Kouresh to death in that ranging inferno in Waco, Texas. They deserve to die for their ignorance and stupidity and no one will miss them in US. The sad part is their death camp leaders have all taking the vaccines while they are telling their brainless, toothless and fat Appachians and Rednecks followers in the Deeo South not to take the vaccines. My oldest daughter works as a nurse in a hospital in Central Florida and she was telling me the other day how full the beds are with people suffering from severe covid infections and most of those people including the young children have lung damages already. Thank God for that for Gov Desatan of Florida and his comrades in other Southern States.
Well, I am of the strong opinion that I deserve to die if I ignorantly listen to those who secretly take the vaccine and lie to me so I don't. So I strongly do hope those covid and vaccine and mask deniers pay towards their healthcare even if they haven't paid for their ignorance with their own lives.

It is a great pity that they are likely to infect the vaccinateds.
